A brakeman of the road was severely in

charge of Conductor Peck. Travel was de-
layed about eight hours. The loss to the
company is estimated at from $4,000 to

A Cavalry Change.

Special to the GLOBE
WASHINGTON, Jan. lit is stated
here that the Eighth cavalry now in Texas,
will exchange places III the spring with the
Seventh cavalry. in Dakota. The Eighth
cavalry has been serving in Texas about
eleven years. Nine years previous to their
coming to Texas they served in Idaho, Ore
gon. Nevada California. Arizona and New
Mexico All of their transfers were made
by marches. If this change of the Eighth
with the Seventh is really intended, there
will be to record regiment moving from
the most southern limits of the United
States to the most northern. The distance
due north is some 1000 miles, or. in other
words, from between 2S : and 800 of lati-
tude to between 39o and 40o of latitude.
S uch move would strain the resources Of
many officers in finding means to move
their families and household goods, and on
reaching Dakota they will not find for
some time their expenses abated, for there
many families will require other clothing
than such as they wear in the semi-tropical
country along the Rio Grande.

To Extend Two Ways.
Special to the Gazette.

CpCCidl W TIC 0dEClbCs
LoNGvIEw, TEX, June 1.-THE direct
| ors st New York of the Galveston, Sabine
and st. Louis have asked their general
manager, r. j. Evans at this place, for the
best route and destination for the above
road with view to extension both ways
immediately. Mr.. Evans answer was
that he thought it best to build the road
north through fine pinery, crossing the
St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas near Gil
mer, and connecting with the Frisco at
Paris, Tex. The southern route,
he said, would 90 through Car
thage, crossing the Bremond system near
Tennaha, Tex, thence south, southeast
down the Sabine valley to the gulf at
some good seaport The road Is being
rapidly pushed south now, and will be to
Carthage by September l. Should the
above connections be made, which is very
likely, this would make one of the very
best routes south end east ever built in
Texas as it runs through the finest pinery
in the state, known as the long leaf pine,
which begins near Carthage and eX-
tends TO the coast, dis
lance Of 500 to 400 miles
and from one TO two hundred miles wide,
the proposed road running in the center
lenghtwise, and besides this no better
cotton land can be found in the state
than Sabine bottoms, and again there is
no end to the cypress which extends all
along the river in most convenient
position to be lowed TO the mills along
the river. The road would practically
have no competition in this part OF the
country as there is no road running south
nearer than the International and Great
Northern on the west, and the Missouri
Pacific on the east, leaving a scope of
the finest and oldest settled
part of the state for this road to pene-
trate. The Morgan road crosses this
part of the country near the gulf and the
Bremond system passes over the upper
end. Both roads in endeavoriEg to reach
commercial centers have left the best
country untouched, As to the northern,
eastern and western connection, no better
could be thought Of. With Texas and
Pacific aid its outlets and the Inter
national and Great Northern at this place
and the Arkansas, Texas and st. Louis,
near Gilmer, and the Transcontinental,
Texas and Pacific and Frisco at Paris,
not speaking of its connection a. Tennaha
with the Bremond system and the Morgan
Railroad, but very few roads could
boast Of so many connections in I'll
directions, and every one Of these great
systems would be forced to respect this
route on account of the above. And,
what is still better, the owners Of this
road are rich and perfectly able to build
1t, and have ever since purchasing it
shown great desire to push it TO some
desired point or points north and south.
Because the twenty miles of the old road
was placed in the hands of a receiver is
not owing to lack of funds or financial
failure of that road or its extensions.
The reGeivership was necessity to avoid
technically too long to explain here,
but which is familiar to most railroad
men and lawyers in this state.

Two more witnesses testified to having

April, 1885, Graham and Cora roomed to-
gether as man and wife and Mrs. Malloy
occupied separate room.
The state closed its case. Attorney S..
Ewell outlined the defense. He said he
would prove that Cora Lee never came to
Springfield on the night of September 30,
1885. That George and Sarah passed
through and cot off the cars at Dorches-
ter, seven miles west of Springfield, and
that Cora Lee slept that night between
two little girls at Malloy farm, and many
other things tnat will establish the inno-

Not a Success.

About two years ago, with q great fare
of trumpets and amid the salvos of imag-
mary cannon, George Il. Hubbard went
to Australia as the agent of the Union
Pacific, the Chicago ana Northwestern,
the Rock Island and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railroads. He was
to capture for the roads named all the
passenger business from the antipodes.
He had great difficulties to contend
against, and the expense of maintaining
the union office has been enormous and
the passenger traffic secured next tc
nothing. The several roads interested
have tired of the Australian experiment,
and on the lst OF July next Mr.. Hibbsrd
VIII close up the office and return to
America. Before he left for Australia
the roads were cautioned as to the folly
of the venture, but were not deferred
from carrying out their plans. No re-
Election is cast on Mr.. Hubbard at all, for
he has a well-esta 5lished reputation in
this country and Canada ss a successful
railroad man. 1t would have been i'm
possible for any man to have made the
undertaking G success, and Mr.. Hubbard
cannot be held personally responsible
for the failure Chicago Inter Ocean.

Another Proposed Line.

Our Burnet correspondent very well

vile line. Our correspondents idea is
to meet the new line mentioned by him,
as proposed, from the north 10 Henrietta,
in Clay county, snd thence out to Burnet
and Marble Falls. This would be a
through line and an important connection
for Austin, though it is believed it would
be better at present to concentrate our
efforts upon securing the lire to Nc
Gregor. Between the two, and before
another year rolls around, it looks like
the capital of the state of Texas will have
at least one competing line outside the
Gould road, with which she can build up
her wholesale trade, because being ena-
bled TO compete with other wholesale
centers in this state. But we cannot ex-
pect either line without effort of our own,
and that, too, hard, ceaseless, persistent
effort Austin Statesman.
